Description
Ford Cortina/ Taunus Mk4 1977 1600 S
Up for sale is this ultra rare 1977 Ford Taunus/ Cortina Mk4 1600 Sport. Built in Cologne and import in Portugal in 1980 when new. To avoid paying higher import tax it was registered new as a 1300 L. However if you know you’re Mk4’s this has the 1600 pinto, 4 branch manifold, twin choke Webber, Rev counter as well as the exceptionally rare Cadiz sport seats. This fairly common in Portugal. This can be changed with the vin plate decoded and a letter from Ford UK sent to the DVLA as proof.
Car is very good condition, internally and externally. Only one patch of welding has been done by the previous owner localised to the spare wheel well. Due to the climate of Portugal there is no bubbling or swelling on any of the panels and all the spot welds are crisp and defined. Mechanically has benefitted from a full service and a cylinder head rebuild.

As well as a refresh on the braking system and suspension. Interior wise is very good, door cards are crisp with no damage and the carpet is near perfect. The drivers seat has some usual bolster wear and the back seat tops have sun damage, all repairable.
The car is located in Central Portugal, however for the right price it’ll be shipped back to the UK with Nova paid and I can guide the new owner on registration of the vehicle so you would be the first UK owner.
Once back in the UK, it’ll be located in Clevedon, North Somerset.
